CHORUS:
Wasn't supposed to be no big decision
He was only gonna spend the night
He gave her a little more than just his memory
Don't matter what she has to sacrifice
She did the only thing she thought was right

There ain't much to do most Friday evenings
In that dusty two lane Texas town
Callin' for somebody new was easy
Its a big deal when a stranger comes around

She didn't think about the consequences
Or worry about possibilities
She wanted him to think she wasn't just some silly girl
So, she gave herself at only seventeen

CHORUS:
And it wasn't supposed to be no big decision
He was only gonna spend the night
He gave her a little more than just his memory
Don't matter what she has to sacrifice
She did the only thing she thought was right

Now, she takes their orders at the diner
Singin' in the kitchen with the country radio
She's got dreams of goin' up to Nashville
Aw, and maybe have some hits songs of her own

Mom and Dad still pay the rent in Texas
And they really think the baby should stay here
She don't wanna walk out on responsibility
So, maybe she could wait another year
Yeah, maybe she could wait another year

CHORUS:
Oh, wasn't supposed to be no big decision
He was only gonna spend the night
He gave her a little more than just his memory
Don't matter what she has to sacrifice
She did the only thing she thought was right
Wasn't supposed to be no big decision
